I am almost 4 weeks post op. I am eating Protein or drinking at every meal. I feel like I am getting so full so quickly that I can't hold very much (I know that's the point) but the problem is about 2 hours later my stomach is empty again. I don't know if it's due to me working out and my body craving more calories? I feel like I'm constantly snacking.

During the liquid and purée phase, your stomach is still pretty wonky but when you start on whole foods with your Protein first, you'll feel full and stay full longer. Just be sure to follow your drinking guidelines- don't drink 30 minutes before or after. It will be normal to feel hunger but with protein first, you slow down digestion and keep that full feeling longer. Beware of sliders!

I am on whole foods. He moved me at two weeks from liquid phase to regular diet. I am pushing Proteins. But I seriously take 4-5 bites of something and I'm stuffed. So then like 2 hours later I feel like my stomach is completely empty and hungry again.

I have some hunger issues myself. I am 11 days post op and had a follow up appt yesterday. I told the dr of my concerns and am waiting for the dietitian to call me back. I did the two weeks prior to surgery mostly liquid, then the final two days clears only. I am on liquids only right now and can stomach about 5 oz at a time. I make sure I wait 30 minutes in between and am consuming 60 gms of Protein per day through shakes. The problem that I am having is I am hungry within 20 to 30 minutes of each meal. I always feeel like my stomach is soooo empty. Could it be that my body is burning the stored fat so rapidly that is why I am hungry right away? I am wondering if the dietitian will tell me to add purees already.

I am having the same issues! My dietician told me it could be mild acid reflux so I got Prilosec so I'll see if there's a difference? I am always so hungry though even though I can only have a few bites! & I have 90 grams of Protein a day!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
